Hensonville City 2011

*Is sickened by the new news regarding
*Uncle D scowls in frustration at the utter rubbish.

Hmm, since I'm going to need Wiki and online sources to research the rest of the haunters plotted for the first square, I think I'll turn my attention to the November oneshot. Do you have the idea already?
Yes... Thanksgiving at the family home of .
UD: Mmm, Beth will like that one.
Yep, I already know Alexander Moe and Puffy will be there, and Wanda will mentally sing "In My Life". Planning to have a few new parade floats on the TV... The only hitch is what the Muppet guest list should be. Oh well, it'll turn out good.

Hey Robin...Uncle Kermit's balloon is on! Hurry! Robin scurries to the TV Yaaayy!!Too bad they never made a balloon of me.I'm sure it would've been great, Robin. kissing the top of his froggie head. Geez...you're getting tall! Pretty soon up at you to talk to you!Robin: But I'll always love you. Well that's good! Because once kids become teenagers, they think their parents are a pain in the butt.

Robin : I won't ever. Good! Now can you go hop in the shower please? Robin: But Uncle Kermit an' Auntie Piggy are supposed to be on in the parade soon! Plus Prairie Grover an' Rosita! Here comes the Sesame Street float now .We watch as the float passes by with our friends. Prairie looks freezing! But Rosita and Grover look nice and bundled up OK...shower.Robin :But....

I promise that I won't let you miss Uncle Kermit and Aunt Piggy. Just put a pair of undies on so no one has to see your little green tooshie. in case they're on soon.Robin: Mo-om! scrunching up his face YEESH! going into the bathroom

Hector and I glance at each other embarrassed. Naive young frog, isn't he?Then Robin realizes what he's said

Robin: Uh...never mind. 'Night Hector.

Hector: 'Nite kiddo. See you tomorrow.

I'll walk you out to your car. Hector takes the sliced into pumpkin loaf I made for him Can't forget this! See you tomorrow, pal he shakes Chef's hand

Chef shaking Hector's hand Heve a gud nite !I walk outside with Hector and boy is it chilly out! Hector putting his hands on my shoulders: You're shivering! Go on back inside and I'll see you tomorrow,OK?

I'm f..He shushes me by putting a finger on my lips, kissing my forehead whispering "Listen to me and I'll see you tomorrow",getting into his car and driving away .As I walk back inside my cellphone rings,I pick it up and it's him: " By the way, I forgot to thank you for the pumpkin bread!I'll enjoy a piece with my coffee tomorrow morning!"You're more than welcome!See you tomorrow.Hector:Hasta mañana ,Sweet dreams. small kissing noise and he hangs up the phoneI stand for a couple of seconds before I'm interrupted by Yu look like der kitty kat aftur she's finished playing with her favurite mousie!

Susie Q: Ellie some of us are trying to sleep! Don't you have errands to run tomorrow morning?

Ellie: That I do! But Bop It...it's taunting me...I have to play it I can't sleep if I can't beat my score! *about to pull the 'Pull It' knob to start a new round*

Ernie: Ellie, put the game down.

Ellie: But...

Ernie: I'll go first, see? *puts Rubber Duckie down* Your turn!

Ellie: *puts down Bop It* But guys, it's the weekend and this is one of those times where I should be sleeping but I'm not and if anything I should do something productive during this period and that's playing Bop It!

*Goes to deliver some belated birthday presents... *Leaves a Kermit The Frog wristwatch for Walter at Apt 8 since it was his birthday last Friday, and then a day pass to the Hensonville Spas for Beth at Apt 3 since she celebrated hers yesterday.

Rhonda: 'Cos there sure seems to be a lot of ush-gush floatin' around here. Is the pollen count high or something?

Well, Kathy seems to be hitting it off with that teacher fellow; I noticed you had another tin of gourmet soap from Bubba in today's mail; and I heard the distinct sound of porcine giggling earlier, so Kermit must have done something right for a change. Nothing wrong with any of that.

Rhonda: Uh...so you haven't been keeping tabs on our roomie?

You mean the blue thing and the pink thing are...oh! Um. Er. Well. Good for them.

Rhonda *eyeroll* NO, you idiot, the other one!

The other idiot? *bristling* Are you calling our hostess an idiot?!

Rhonda: No...sheesh...never mind. Sign this card for Walter and this one for Beth, willya?

Of course. *scribbles illegibly* I think Walter will like his gift.

Rhonda: Of course you do. You picked it.

He shows promise! An inquisitive mind, always in the middle of things, and now he's begun filming everything! He's clearly destined to be a journalist! He'll LOVE the "Best of MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour Gag Reel"! *preens* And I'm sure Beth will enjoy the...what did you get her?

Annie Sue: Link, your mother was on the phone. She wanted to remind you to put on your knitted mittens before outside. *gives Link his mittens*

Link Hogthrob: *refuses to wear the mittens* But, I'm all ready dressed in seven layers. *chopping down the tree* I even remembered to wear my extra pair of underwear, so my keester wouldn't get cold. And besides, why would I want to wear a fruity pair of mittens, anyway? A man, like me uses his bare hands to chop down a tree. Believe me, my dear, the last time I got a splinter was twenty minutes ago.

Annie Sue: *shakes head in disbelief* I'm really impressed. -.- And also, she doesn't want you to be chopping down any trees! Angie is already getting an artificial one from the store. So, please put down the ax and leave this poor, and helpless little tree alone. Please?... :c

Link Hogthrob: Just one more hack, then we've got ourselves a Christmas tr-- TIMBER!...

Speaking of updating fics...
I already said I need that song for the November oneshot. * but I guess I could work on it tomorrow omitting it entirely. Meh, haven't decided which haunter to work with next, maybe Woesday Addums or Malika the Goblin Girl, so I could definitely switch over to focusing on the fic.

Earlier today at the ice skating rink: tying Robin's ice skate laces : Now you promise me you'll be careful? Because if you fall and break anything ,your Uncle Kermit will break out in one of those fits he's known for.Robin: Mom...I'll be fine! An' even if I did break somethin' Uncle Kermit wouldn't blame YOU! Well just try not to break anything anyway, all right? Robin: Yep! See ya! kissing me and going off to join Prairie, Rosita, Grover & Chef Meanwhile Hector comes back with a cup of hot chocolate for me and coffee for himself Extra marshmallows in yours ,he grins.Thanks I take it with a smile but still worried about Robin

Oh Hector...I'm sorry..it's not you! I'm just worried about Robin ice skating. I know that Kermit gave me guardianship of Robin because he, meaning Kermit is so busy with showbiz. And he trusts me. So do Robin's natural parents. But if Robin breaks an ankle from falling on the ice I'll never forgive myself!Hector rubbing my back : Hey...hey...take it easy. These kids are resilient! Especially at Robin's age. Do you want to know how many times I've seen kids jump from 6 foot high jungle gyms and walk away without a broken arm or leg.Same thing with kids jumping from swings! Besides, Chef's out there and I'm pretty sure he'll watch out for Robin. So relax all right?

*Uncle D tries his clawed hand at the caesar calzones we saw Angelo make with Kermit on the TV earlier today.
* removes a tray of his traditional number cookies out of the oven, shoving in another tray to have enough for handing out this month-long season.

Chef: Yu still mad?sigh No I guess not. Although I admit my heart was in my throat every time Robin went whizzing by at the end of that whip you guys were doing.Chef, when you first said no, I was relieved! Why didn't you stick to your guns?Chef: Huh?

I mean when Prairie said she'd hang on to him,why didn't you continue to say no?Chef hands on his hips and pointing at me Yu try saying nu to big bloo eyes thet reminds me uv yore sister wen she wuz a littul gurl bek in Sveden!

padding my way out of bed to get some JelloChef:Yung ladee! Whut are yu dooing oot uv bed?Whut did I put thet bell in yur room fur; my helth?

But....Chef :But nuthing! Screm! Whut du yu want enyway?

Jello.Chef, I'm fine!I can't stay in bed forever!I'm not an invalid!

Chef spooning out the Jello into a bowl Well wen yu don't feel well yu need tu be teken care uv. Besides.handing me the bowl of Jello I prumised Hector I'd teke care uv yoo. Noow get yur butt bak tu bed Hector's coming ovur soon with a surprise fur yu.I still need to eat more of the flan he made.He'll be insulted if I don't.

*Is satisfied after posting that November fic and Beth liked it. So vhat's for December?
Since that's the last one left, it'll be something, *inhales like Long John, indulgent. But it won't go on the docket until closer to year's end so we can deal with all the Christmas stuff around here.

Uncle D, trudging back with a chicken stir-fry veggies supper for Apt 1, that reminds me...
Yeah, we'll get the Christmas candelabra and wreath set up on the weekend. That reminds me, there's the vonderful tree out in Hensonville Town Square with all the lovely little Muppet Christmas ornaments. Ah, vhat fun it will be counting them all!

Okay guys, let's dig in and maybe if more people are about we can start sending Christmas number cookies.

Hey Cook. BTW: Did you get that ipad you wanted for Christmas last year?
You probably want the chocolate chip 3's, so here's a batch of 'em that Count made. Oh and please tell Beth she's welcome to drop by.

*Afterwards... *Heats up an egg roll for midday snackage. Well, I simply must eat something.
